I've always believed that a hearty breakfast would be enough to sustain me throughout the day. Stress can sometimes limit the hours of gastronomic contentment but on a regular day and in a perfect world, breakfast is more than sufficient to keep me filled even until the day ends.
A few days ago, a colleague and I went around the T-hub to have our breakfast. It being the holy week, our choices were limited since all other establishments, coffee shops included, were closed for the holiday. Surprisingly, Kanin Club was open. I'd eaten there only once before with a couple of friends and thought the food was worth its price. What I hadn't counted on was that they'd only serve breakfast sets even at past 10AM. The choices looked like the usual combinations you'd normally find at a Pares establishment. They didn't have my favourite tocino so I went with the next best choice...tapa!
The images in the menu didn't look very appetizing, to be honest, but I had to eat. So even though one plate set me back a couple of hundred pesos, I still picked it as my meal for the day. It took several minutes for our food to be prepared but when they served it, the proportions were well worth the wait. The garlic rice was packed, there were 2 sunny-side up eggs on the side, and slices of tomato and cucumber. The meat itself was enough to go with the rice and the taste fit my palate just right.
After my one time visit to the Kanin Club before, I thought nothing else on their menu could do justice to the way their stuffed squid and beef sinigang were cooked. Their simple but huge breakfast meals sure proved me wrong.
